High in lauric acid, coconut oil is a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. It is up to 15 times more effective than benzoyl peroxide, making it extremely beneficial to use topically, on its own, or mixed with sugar as a scrub. Lauric acid furthermore helps to maintain healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, boost metabolism and increase feelings of fullness.
